We would be opposed to this.  We already get complaints that 5.2.x is
too stringent a requirement (people want to use even older versions of
gdb).  I think that allowing people to use new features in 6.x, while
still supporting 5.2.x would be better.  We could either automatically
detect the version, or allow the user to select a "compliance" level for
their debugger.
